I had my doctor appointment on Tuesday and the specialist has decided to have me monitor my blood sugar 4 times a day for a week straight. He also put me on the south beach diet. Really?!?! Is this necessary!?!? I feel like an old person setting my phone alarm for when I need to check my sugar throughout the day. Unbelievable. I eat so healthy, exercise and take such good care of myself on a regular basis and now that I'm pregnant... yeah, there's a blood sugar monitor in my purse.....that just happened.
Now that my rant is over I can say that whatever I need to do to ensure this little girl comes out perfect is do-able. It's not the end of the world, and I'm thankful that it's not something worse. Plus all my numbers have been coming back normal. The south beach diet is rather confusing. Writing down everything I eat then determining which section it should be counted in... seems like a time consuming diet. I have learned a few things from it though. Carbs are actually a bigger concern for diabetics than actual sugar. Interesting. I love carbs :(
It's been a crazy busy week with work and company coming in town! I'm so excited! Jo gets in tonight, then Peggy, Dana, and Marissa tomorrow night! Then some awesome friends arrive saturday morning :) Should be a fun filled weekend, and so far the weather is looking amazing for the next few days. I was going to where a longer dress for the shower but it's looking too warm, might wear the same one I wore to my work shower instead. A sweaty pregnant woman is never attractive lol. Speaking of not attractive I officially have 4 stretch marks. I thought it was only three but Nick noticed a 4th this evening. Thanks babe lol.
Nick just got back from Louisville yesterday, poor guy has a cold. He takes on so much with work, he makes me worry! Hopefully things will simmer down for him the next few weeks so his head doesn't implode. He did get to take a few minutes and put together the bouncy seat we got from The Travis family!! It's so cute, and looks very comfy :)
8 more weeks.... wow it's creeping!! We are so blessed to have such great family and friends to share our excitement with.
V my love.....
ReplyDeleteFirst off, you look AMAZINGGGGGGG. I'm obsessed with your gorgeous (tan) belly). That being said, I'm so sorry you are dealing with all this blood sugar nonsense! Isn't it crazy how pregnancy effects us? You're eating healthy, working out and doing everything right - just keep cooking that beautiful baby girl and know that me (and Layla!) are thinking about you - feel good mama and have a BLAST this weekend -wish I could be there!!
